Project Information/Progress Pandora Hearts, a beautifully illustrated and written manga is coming to a close after seven+ years. I wanted to celebrate this and show our gratitude to Jun Mochizuki with a high quality fanbook. (a copy will be sent to her, though copies will probably be up for sale). I am in the early steps of setting this large project up, from inviting skilled artists deciding the best publisher. Lets demonstrate to Mochizuki-sama how much we've appreciated all her amazing work by showing her the wonderful artists she inspired. To make the fanbook a truly inspiring and beautiful tribute to this gorgeous series I am inviting prominent and skilled artists that are fans of Pandora Hearts. Of course this does not mean the group is painfully exclusive, anyone interested in contributing is welcome to submit a join request form. Fanbook Contents The fanbook is currently being set up to cover a wide variety of art forms. Categories include; -Digital Art -Traditional -Cosplay -Crafts -Poetry - As well as a special segment "Letters to Mochizuki" in which you can send your appreciation and sentiments to the mangaka through a special note. Purchase and Pricing? The fanbook will be available for purchase to all. The price is not currently confirmed until I settle on a publisher and gather the general number of pre-orders wanted/pages needed but currently the prices are estimate to be between $30-$50 (normal art book price range). Any leftover funds (if any) will be used to cover shipping costs and to cover the price of the copy sent to Mochizuki.
